The Alphabet Forest is an absolute must see attraction at the Minnesota State Fair! Laidback and fun, the this exhibit is perfect fun for the whole family!

Debra Frasier, author of eight children’s picture books, is proud to be from Minnesota. She loves the State Fair, too! She wrote and illustrated an alphabet book based on her trips to the Minnesota State Fair. So it seems appropriate that she will be at the Minnesota State Fair bringing the Alphabet Forest to you.

The Alphabet Forest is open in Baldwin Park each day of the fair (Aug. 22 – Sept. 2, 2019) from 9:00 am-8:00 pm.

This is an extremely laidback activity, and it’s in the most shaded spot of the entire fair (hence the name Alphabet Forest).

Minnesota author Debra Frasier will be at the Alphabet Forest from 10:00 am-6:00 pm during the fair (have I mentioned it is Aug. 22 – Sept. 2, 2019). Each day another Minnesota (or western Wisconsin) author will join her. You can see the 2018 schedule below for an example. We’ll add the 2019 line up when it is released..

[…] Alphabet Forest in Baldwin Park – All kinds of alphabet activities to enjoy here in the Family Fair at Baldwin Park. Last year we finally won blue ribbons for completing our Fabulous Fair alphabet game cards! We also met Homegrown Author John Coy, curled up in the book corner, made alphabet craft projects and more. For extra info on the Alphabet Forest, read Gianna’s article here. […]

Favorite fair memory – just being with my family and having fun walking around the fairgrounds. My mother-in-law lives a few blocks from the main gates, so we are able to spend time at the fair, then go home to rest, then go back to the fair, then go home to rest, etc:) I also really enjoyed watching my son’s reaction the first time he saw the robot guy walking around:)
